Seeing Gu Xing and the little gray bird walking away, Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief and walked back, seeing Gu Yan walking towards him from afar.
Gu Yan walked up to him and asked, "Gu Xing is gone?"
Ye Zi nodded, thinking of Gu Tingcai's appearance of wanting to eat people, he still had lingering fears: "I wanted to explain it to the third prince, who knew that Que'er changed back to his original shape and came here just now, so he didn't piss him off."
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Who told you not to wait for me? If I were here, he would be angry and dare not vent it to you."
"Who knew Que'er would suddenly come out to interrupt." Ye Zi muttered in a low voice, and then asked, "What's going on with Emperor Jinghe?"
Gu Yan sneered: "What can I do if I have the orchid poison in my body? Emperor Jinghe has agreed, and from tomorrow onwards, it will be Pei Ge who will heal him."
Ye Zi was startled: "Then he..."
Once Pei Ge enters the palace, Gu Yan is equivalent to controlling the life of Emperor Jinghe.In this way, wouldn't the government be handed over to Gu Yan indirectly?
Gu Yan's expression was indifferent: "Besides this, does he have other choices?"
Ye Zi lowered his eyes and didn't answer for a while.
Gu Yan thought of something, shook his head, and said: "Let's go, go to the medical clinic first, I agreed to this for Dr. Pei on my own, and I have to explain it to him personally."
On the other end, Gu Xing returned to the bedroom with the little gray bird in his arms.
He had just stepped into the dormitory when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Xiao'er, do you have anything to explain to me?"
Gu Xing paused slightly, closed his palms slightly to block the little gray bird, and turned his head: "Mother, why are you here?"
Behind him, Concubine Yu was bloodshot, her clothes and makeup were as exquisite as before, but her expression was haggard and exhausted.
Concubine Yu's eyes were red: "You did it, didn't you?"
Gu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "The wall has ears, mother and concubine should go into the room and talk."
Gu Xun led Concubine Yu into the house, and carefully placed the little gray sparrow on the silver bird stand specially customized for him.When he let go, the little gray bird lightly rubbed against his fingers, as if he was a little worried.
Gu Xing gently touched the head of the little gray bird, shook his head imperceptibly at him, and turned back to the outside room.
Concubine Yu was sitting on the seat with a slightly dazed expression.
Gu Xun walked to her and sat down, reached out and poured her a cup of tea, and handed it over.Concubine Yu glanced at the tea, but did not dare to take it.
Gu Xun smiled: "Don't worry, Concubine Mu, there is no poison in it."
Concubine Yu's eyes trembled, and she suddenly grabbed Gu Xing's wrist.The tea splashed out of the cup, Concubine Yu didn't even hear it, and asked: "You really did it, are you crazy? I asked you to help me with this matter, and that's how you handled it? Do you know how big it is to murder the Holy Majesty?" guilt?"
Gu Xun gently opened Concubine Yu's hand, took out a silk handkerchief, wiped the tea stained on her hand unhurriedly, and said calmly: "Did the concubine misunderstand something? Even if you want to check, that bowl of bird's nest porridge is yours." Sent it in person."
Concubine Yu was stunned.
Gu Xun has helped her a lot in the past few days. He found all the people related to Wulanhua 20 years ago and executed them all.Last night, she cooked a bowl of bird's nest porridge for Emperor Jinghe and sent it to Emperor Jinghe to report the matter.
The bowl of bird's nest was originally intended to ease her relationship with Emperor Jinghe.
But who would have thought that that thing would be tampered with.
The turnip pollen was soluble in water, it was colorless and tasteless, and it was impossible to detect. She had no idea when someone had poisoned her.
Concubine Yu's fingertips trembled slightly, and she said in disbelief, "Are you crazy... I raised you for many years, and this is what I got in return? What are you doing for that little eunuch I executed before?"
Gu Xing's eyes subconsciously glanced at the inner room, and through the screen of the gauze curtain, he could see that the little ball was still obediently standing on the bird stand.
His expression softened a little, and he said with a smile: "My concubine said you raised me? Then you will treat me as your son one day? You don't. You just use me as a tool for you to fight for power, and my biological mother How did you die, has the concubine forgotten?"
Concubine Yu's eyes trembled slightly, but she didn't answer.
Gu Xun said again: "That year when Concubine Yun entered the palace, you were Zhaoyi who took the initiative to make friends with her. By being favored by her, you also quickly gained the favor of Emperor Jinghe. Later, you and Concubine Yun became pregnant almost at the same time , but she was framed and sent to the cold palace, is it true that you didn't do anything in it?"
Concubine Yu raised her voice: "You are talking nonsense, what evidence do you have to prove that I did it?"
"Mother and concubine, don't worry, let me finish." Gu Xun said lightly, "You thought that no one would compete with you for favor after you lost Concubine Yun, but you didn't expect that your health was so poor that you accidentally lost your child. The imperial doctor told you that you will never have children."
"You know that concubines without heirs are having a hard time in the harem, so you are eyeing Concubine Yun again."
"You told Emperor Jinghe not to let the blood of the royal family grow up in the cold palace, and let Emperor Jinghe take away the child who was less than a month old from Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun completely lost hope of life after losing the child, and it didn't take long Then die."
"You are afraid that the matter will be exposed, so you will seal up all the people related to it. But there is no impenetrable wall in this world. I searched hard, and finally I found a servant who once served by Concubine Yun and was later dismissed from the palace." slave girl."
Concubine Yu slumped on the armchair, her face pale.
Gu Xing turned his head to look at her, his expression almost pitiful: "Mother Concubine still thinks, am I crazy?"
Concubine Yu's lips trembled, she calmed down a little, and persuaded: "Yes... I did something wrong at the beginning, but Ting'er, since I took you to my side, I have always taught you like my own son. If it wasn't Me, how could you have the status you have today?"
"Status?" Gu Xing's lips curled up, and he said warmly, "Yes, I want to thank my concubine for her cultivation. If you hadn't taught me how to compete with others, I would not be where I am today. So don't worry, concubine mother, if the emperor blames me , I will intercede for my concubine."
Concubine Yu looked up in a daze.
Gu Xun said again: "Now inside and outside the court, everyone thinks that the father just contracted the plague from nowhere, and was not poisoned. I think that the father should also not want the news that he was poisoned by the orchid flower to spread. .Because once it is revealed that the so-called plague is actually the poison of the orchid, the old case 20 years ago will also be uncovered. The best way now is to make the big thing smaller."
"As long as the mother and concubine don't talk about this matter and spread it everywhere, I think father and emperor should not pursue it too much."
"what do you mean……"
But Gu Xun didn't say much anymore, he just said lightly: "That's all for now, let me send my mother and concubine back to the palace."
"No need." Concubine Yu stood up and gave him a deep look, "I'll go by myself."
After Concubine Yu finished speaking, she quickly walked out of the hall.Gu Xing sighed softly, and behind him, the little gray sparrow lightly landed on his shoulder.
"Ah..."
Gu Xing turned his head and patted his head: "What, did you scare me?"
"No." The little gray bird rubbed against Gu Jun's neck and said, "Is it really okay to let Concubine Yu go like this? What if the emperor pursues her and she tells you about your poisoning?"
"No." Gu Xun held the little gray bird in his palm, and lightly stroked the feathers on his back, "Que'er, do you know who in this world won't tell the secret?"
"what……"
Gu Xing raised his eyes to look outside the hall, and said calmly: "One is a dead person, and the other is a lunatic."
The little gray bird blinked ignorantly, not quite understanding the meaning of what he said suddenly.He stood in the palm of Gu Xun's hand and looked up at him: "Anyway, as long as I can be with Ah Xun."
Gu Xun asked warmly: "As long as you are with me, no matter what your identity is, will you accept it?"
The little gray bird said: "That's natural."
Gu Xing closed his eyes, and there was a smile on his lips: "Okay."
When Gu Yan and Ye Zi stepped into Yongchuntang Medical Center, it was more crowded than before.
The two stood still in the lobby of the medical center. Ye Zi looked at the crowd in front of him, and said with a helpless smile, "Doctor Pei's business is getting better and better. There are so many people?"
"Young master doesn't know something," an old man who came to see a doctor beside him said leisurely, "The doctor here has rejuvenated his hands, and he went to the south of the Yangtze River with the prince before, and healed the plague that was raging over there in one fell swoop. It is said that he He is a genius doctor!"
It is precisely because the news that Pei Ge cured the plague in Guangling and saved the lives of countless people spread back to Chang'an, and many people came here admiringly, which made Yongchuntang's business even better.
Ye Zi and Gu Yan looked at each other, before they could say anything, someone walked towards them in front of them.The man was dressed in simple plain clothes. Although he was dressed like an ordinary person, he still had an elegant and unusual temperament.
It's Wen Zhi.
Wen Zhi saw Gu Yan and Ye Zi standing at the door of the medical hall from a distance, and hurriedly greeted them, and blurted out, "Wang..."
"Miss." Gu Yan interrupted first, "We are here to find Dr. Pei."
Wen Zhi immediately understood and nodded: "Please follow me."
Wen Zhi led the two of them to the wing behind the medical hall.
After closing the door of the wing room, Ye Zi said, "I never thought the Princess would stay in Yongchun Hall."
"Don't call me princess, I'm not a princess anymore." Wen Zhi smiled and said, "Dr. Pei and the prince went to the south of the Yangtze River to treat the epidemic, and I took care of the medical clinic with Wan'er. It's been a long time I don't think there's anything wrong with this. That's why... stay here and learn some medical principles from Dr. Pei, so as to cure diseases and save lives."
Ye Zi smiled knowingly: "It's best if you can do what you want."
Wen Zhi said: "Thank you so much, Little Grass Immortal. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here today."
Gu Yan frowned, and his voice sank: "What do you call him?"
Just as Wen Zhi was about to answer, Ye Zi saw that the situation was not right, and immediately interrupted: "Princess, please hurry up and invite Dr. Pei over, we have something urgent to do with him."
Wen Zhi looked at him in bewilderment, then at Gu Yan, said nothing more, responded, turned her head and went out to look for Pei Ge.
Just as Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief, she felt someone hug her from behind.
Gu Yan maliciously bit the tip of his ear, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't I know you had such a cute name, huh? Little Grass Fairy?"
The vinegar smell in these words made Ye Zi's teeth ache.Ye Zi flinched uncomfortably, and said helplessly, "My lord, what kind of vinegar are you drinking?"
Gu Yan tightened his arms, and kissed the sensitive area behind his ear lightly, without answering.
Ye Zi couldn't bear his teasing, and struggled uncomfortably, "Don't... be seen again later."
Gu Yan still ignored him, his lips slowly moved down, and lightly bit Ye Zi's neck.
"Hiss..." Ye Zi felt a pain and said, "Gu Zicheng!"
"I'm here." Gu Yan lightly kissed and licked the area where he had bitten, and was satisfied to see that there was an ambiguous red mark on the small piece of fair skin.
Because of Ye Zi's extraordinary recovery ability, no matter what traces Gu Yan left on him, they would always disappear the next day without a trace.
From Ye Zi's point of view, this is a good thing, but Gu Yan doesn't think so.
Prince Rui, who had been calm in the past, didn't know which nerve was touched by this incident. Every time he got close, he always stubbornly left some marks on him, never tired of it, paranoid and domineering.
Gu Yan let go of Ye Zi, and stroked the red mark with his fingertips, as if reminiscing.
Ye Zi knocked off his hand, covered his neck, and said angrily, "Are you a dog? You know how to bite people."
"This is punishment." Gu Yan said righteously, "How about it, Princess Rui, do you know your mistake?"
"You—" Ye Zi was about to say something when someone knocked lightly on the door twice.
Pei Ge opened the door with a slightly uncomfortable expression on his face: "Although I really can't bear to disturb the two of you, the clinic below is really busy right now. If the two want to cultivate their relationship, can we continue later?"
Ye Zi: "..."
Ye Zi blushed, rushed to the side and sat down, ignoring Gu Yan.
Gu Yan also immediately put away that unscrupulous expression, and said, "Doctor Pei, please come in."
Pei Ge sat down in front of the two of them, and Gu Yan would inform him soon.
After Pei Ge listened, he didn't reply for a long time.
Gu Yan observed his expression, and persuaded him: "Don't worry, Doctor Pei, although this king asked you to enter the palace and stay by His Majesty's side, you don't really need to bother him. You just need to cook for him as you did before." Just a decoction that alleviates the poison."
"No matter what your majesty's condition is in the end, this king can guarantee that your life will never be in danger."
Pei Ge smiled and replied: "My lord is worrying too much, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that I don't understand, if my lord just wants to alleviate the poison, you already have a prescription, you just need to give it to the imperial physician That is, why come to find me?"
Gu Yan lowered his eyes and spoke calmly: "After all, the imperial physician is an outsider, so it's better to be at ease than the people around him. What's more, doesn't Dr. Pei want to seize this opportunity to enter the palace? For ordinary people, this is not the case. What an easy thing."
Pei Ge's expression was slightly stagnant, and he raised his eyes to look at Gu Yan, as if confirming something from his face.
After a long while, Pei Ge suddenly chuckled and said: "Okay, since the lord speaks in person, I will definitely obey. However, lord, please give me a day to deal with the matter of the hospital. I will enter the palace naturally tomorrow morning. "
Gu Yan thought for a while and asked, "Speaking of which, why don't you see Miss Wan'er? You and Chang Ning, who is a beginner in medicine, are left alone. No wonder you are so busy."
When mentioning this matter, Pei Ge couldn't help but sighed softly, and said: "What's more, that girl left the second day after I came back."
"Where did you go?"
Pei Ge said: "Northwest Camp."
Ye Zi was taken aback, and said in surprise, "It's pretty good, what is she doing there—"
His voice came to an abrupt end.
He still remembered that Wen Yi once said that after taking care of Princess Changning's affairs, he would lead troops to station in the northwest.
Ye Zi blinked, and asked tentatively, "Could she be..."
"The female college is not allowed to stay." Pei Ge laughed, and said helplessly, "That girl insisted that the soldiers in the northwest guarding the border are hard, and there are not many good doctors accompanying the army. If you insist on going there to serve as a military doctor, you Talking about this..."
Ye Zi couldn't believe it: "Wen Yi actually agreed to let her little girl eat sand with her?"
"It should be disagreement." Pei Ge said, "I heard from Miss Wen that when Wan'er and General Wen stayed in the bamboo house to take care of her, they quarreled every day, even the night before General Wen left. They are arguing about Wan'er wanting to follow her to the northwest."
Pei Ge sighed: "Wan'er and I are not actually brothers and sisters. Both of our parents died when we were young, and we grew up with the master. Later, the master passed away for some reason, and Wan'er and I depended on each other for our lives, so we came to Chang'an."
"...I take care of Wan'er as my own younger sister. She may have been spoiled by me all these years, and her temper has become more arrogant and lawless. Let her go to the northwest to suffer some hardships."
Gu Yan chuckled lightly, and said, "You think it's a pain, but others don't necessarily think so. Congratulations, Dr. Pei, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can become a relative of the emperor."
Pei Ge shook his head and said nothing.
The three of them chatted for a while, Pei Ge was still busy with the affairs of the clinic, and the two of them didn't want to bother for too long, so they left the clinic soon.
Gu Yan and Ye Zi didn't take a car, the two of them walked on the street, it was rare for them to be leisurely.
Chang'an City is now full of autumn, and the fallen leaves are scattered on the ground, bringing a sense of bleakness.The street market was peaceful and lively as usual, but it was like the calm before the storm.
Ye Zi suddenly asked: "Zi Cheng, the root of the orchid...is it really gone?"
"Yes." Gu Yan said, "All the orchids have been destroyed in Guangling, and I only kept the small packet of pollen for emergencies."
Ye Zi pursed her lips, and said hesitantly, "Then...Emperor Jinghe..."
Gu Yan smiled: "Although the roots of the flowers are gone, the seeds should still be there."
This is what Ye Zi is worried about.
Ye Zi said: "If he still has the leftover orchid seeds in his hand, and he grows orchids with them, and obtains the antidote for the roots, will it be..."
"So what?" Gu Yan said indifferently: "He'll do whatever he wants, I'll wait."
Ye Zi still had doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask any more questions.The two of them walked to a lively gate in the market, and Ye Zi looked inside curiously: "What is this place, why is it so lively?"
Gu Yan pulled his clothes, raised his eyes and pointed to the top of Ye Zi's head.
On the mahogany plaque above their heads, several words were engraved in large sizes.
——"Chang'an Book Pavilion"
Ye Zi heard about that bookstore several times, but he had no chance before, and he never set foot there once.He became more curious for a while, and asked, "This is where Qiutang and the others bought the scripts? Can we..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yan directly took his hand and stepped into the book pavilion.
The Book Pavilion is full of people, and it is divided into three floors. All kinds of books are divided into categories, which can be described as dazzling.Through the lobby, the interior of the Book Pavilion is connected to a teahouse, and most people are now gathered in that teahouse.
After asking, the two found out that today is the once-a-month popular vernacular book appreciation day, and Shuge invited the most famous local storyteller to comment on the most popular vernacular books of the season.
Ye Zi became interested as soon as he heard it, and pestered Gu Yan to listen to the book.Gu Yan had no choice but to spend a lot of money to buy a private room in a teahouse.
The private room is on the second floor, with an excellent view. While eating melon and fruit refreshments, Ye Zi stared intently at the storyteller and listened carefully.
Sure enough, it was the story of the royal palace that was being talked about.
They haven't come back for a few months, and the book of Yan Ji of the Palace has already reached the fifth volume. The little prince is looking for his husband from thousands of miles away, but he finds out that the prince has moved on.
Ye Zi felt something was wrong when he heard this at the beginning, so he frowned and continued listening.
I don't know if the author is restrained now, or the storyteller is not good at showing the romantic affairs in the book. The content of this book is extremely serious. Not only are there almost no romantic affairs, but the content has become heavy stand up.
This book is about the prince who was ordered to go south, and the young master couldn't bear the loneliness in the palace, so he chased him all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.But after chasing him, he found that instead of thinking about him as much as he imagined, the prince had moved on and fell in love with someone else.The little prince was so heartbroken that he couldn't help resorting to many means to try to restore the prince.
Hearing this, Ye Zi couldn't listen anymore.
He put the teacup on the table and said angrily, "What are these things?"
Gu Yan stretched out his hand and patted the back of his hand, and said in a gentle voice, "It's just a script, don't worry about it."
"That's not okay, I—"
Before Ye Zi could finish speaking, some disputes suddenly broke out in the audience.
The storyteller's narration was interrupted, Ye Zi looked over, and the place where the dispute happened was just blocked by the crowd, so he couldn't see clearly what was going on for a while.
Gu Yan also tilted his head to follow Ye Zi's gaze, and said, "Go down and have a look?"
"it is good."
The two went downstairs, and soon came to the place where the dispute occurred. The person who was arguing with the manager of the Book Pavilion was a familiar person.
Qiu Luo was so angry that she blushed and said angrily: "How can you tamper with Mr. Wu Fang's work at will, the original content of that paragraph is not like this."
The steward said: "Girl, this book belongs to us, we have the final say on how to change it, why are you bothering?"
"No, you can't do this." Qiuluo said, "I... I read the fifth book, and the content is clearly that the young master went to the south of the Yangtze River to reconcile the old relationship with the prince. When you come here, how come it becomes a love affair?"
The steward said righteously: "What do you know? It was so smooth and smooth before, how could it be attractive enough? We changed it to what it is now, isn't it still popular?"
Ye Zi: "..."
Why didn't he know before that Qiuluo liked reading this script so much?
But judging from what she meant, the content of the fifth book should have been changed.Ye Zi turned her head to look at Gu Yan, and saw the same helplessness in the latter's eyes.
Gu Yan shook his head, stepped out of the crowd, and raised his voice slightly: "Stop arguing."
When Qiuluo heard the familiar voice, she turned her head with a look of astonishment on her face.
Gu Yan walked up to him and asked, "Gu Xing is gone?"
Ye Zi nodded, thinking of Gu Tingcai's appearance of wanting to eat people, he still had lingering fears: "I wanted to explain it to the third prince, who knew that Que'er changed back to his original shape and came here just now, so he didn't piss him off."
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Who told you not to wait for me? If I were here, he would be angry and dare not vent it to you."
"Who knew Que'er would suddenly come out to interrupt." Ye Zi muttered in a low voice, and then asked, "What's going on with Emperor Jinghe?"
Gu Yan sneered: "What can I do if I have the orchid poison in my body? Emperor Jinghe has agreed, and from tomorrow onwards, it will be Pei Ge who will heal him."
Ye Zi was startled: "Then he..."
Once Pei Ge enters the palace, Gu Yan is equivalent to controlling the life of Emperor Jinghe.In this way, wouldn't the government be handed over to Gu Yan indirectly?
Gu Yan's expression was indifferent: "Besides this, does he have other choices?"
Ye Zi lowered his eyes and didn't answer for a while.
Gu Yan thought of something, shook his head, and said: "Let's go, go to the medical clinic first, I agreed to this for Dr. Pei on my own, and I have to explain it to him personally."
On the other end, Gu Xing returned to the bedroom with the little gray bird in his arms.
He had just stepped into the dormitory when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Xiao'er, do you have anything to explain to me?"
Gu Xing paused slightly, closed his palms slightly to block the little gray bird, and turned his head: "Mother, why are you here?"
Behind him, Concubine Yu was bloodshot, her clothes and makeup were as exquisite as before, but her expression was haggard and exhausted.
Concubine Yu's eyes were red: "You did it, didn't you?"
Gu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "The wall has ears, mother and concubine should go into the room and talk."
Gu Xun led Concubine Yu into the house, and carefully placed the little gray sparrow on the silver bird stand specially customized for him.When he let go, the little gray bird lightly rubbed against his fingers, as if he was a little worried.
Gu Xing gently touched the head of the little gray bird, shook his head imperceptibly at him, and turned back to the outside room.
Concubine Yu was sitting on the seat with a slightly dazed expression.
Gu Xun walked to her and sat down, reached out and poured her a cup of tea, and handed it over.Concubine Yu glanced at the tea, but did not dare to take it.

Concubine Yu's eyes trembled, and she suddenly grabbed Gu Xing's wrist.The tea splashed out of the cup, Concubine Yu didn't even hear it, and asked: "You really did it, are you crazy? I asked you to help me with this matter, and that's how you handled it? Do you know how big it is to murder the Holy Majesty?" guilt?"
Gu Xun gently opened Concubine Yu's hand, took out a silk handkerchief, wiped the tea stained on her hand unhurriedly, and said calmly: "Did the concubine misunderstand something? Even if you want to check, that bowl of bird's nest porridge is yours." Sent it in person."
Concubine Yu was stunned.

But who would have thought that that thing would be tampered with.

His expression softened a little, and he said with a smile: "My concubine said you raised me? Then you will treat me as your son one day? You don't. You just use me as a tool for you to fight for power, and my biological mother How did you die, has the concubine forgotten?"
Concubine Yu's eyes trembled slightly, but she didn't answer.
Gu Xun said again: "That year when Concubine Yun entered the palace, you were Zhaoyi who took the initiative to make friends with her. By being favored by her, you also quickly gained the favor of Emperor Jinghe.

"Mother and concubine, don't worry, let me finish." Gu Xun said lightly, "You thought that no one would compete with you for favor after you lost Concubine Yun, but you didn't expect that your health was so poor that you accidentally lost your child.

"You know that concubines without heirs are having a hard time in the harem, so you are eyeing Concubine Yun again."
"You told Emperor Jinghe not to let the blood of the royal family grow up in the cold palace, and let Emperor Jinghe take away the child who was less than a month old from Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun completely lost hope of life after losing the child, and it didn't take long Then die."
"You are afraid that the matter will be exposed, so you will seal up all the people related to it. But there is no impenetrable wall in this world. I searched hard, and finally I found a servant who once served by Concubine Yun and was later dismissed from the palace." slave girl."

"As long as the mother and concubine don't talk about this matter and spread it everywhere, I think father and emperor should not pursue it too much."
"what do you mean……"
But Gu Xun didn't say much anymore, he just said lightly: "That's all for now, let me send my mother and concubine back to the palace."
"No need." Concubine Yu stood up and gave him a deep look, "I'll go by myself."
After Concubine Yu finished speaking, she quickly walked out of the hall.Gu Xing sighed softly, and behind him, the little gray sparrow lightly landed on his shoulder.

When Gu Yan and Ye Zi stepped into Yongchuntang Medical Center, it was more crowded than before.

"Young master doesn't know something," an old man who came to see a doctor beside him said leisurely, "The doctor here has rejuvenated his hands, and he went to the south of the Yangtze River with the prince before, and healed the plague that was raging over there in one fell swoop.

It is precisely because the news that Pei Ge cured the plague in Guangling and saved the lives of countless people spread back to Chang'an, and many people came here admiringly, which made Yongchuntang's business even better.
Ye Zi and Gu Yan looked at each other, before they could say anything, someone walked towards them in front of them.The man was dressed in simple plain clothes. Although he was dressed like an ordinary person, he still had an elegant and unusual temperament.
It's Wen Zhi.
Wen Zhi saw Gu Yan and Ye Zi standing at the door of the medical hall from a distance, and hurriedly greeted them, and blurted out, "Wang..."
"Miss." Gu Yan interrupted first, "We are here to find Dr. Pei."
Wen Zhi immediately understood and nodded: "Please follow me."
Wen Zhi led the two of them to the wing behind the medical hall.
After closing the door of the wing room, Ye Zi said, "I never thought the Princess would stay in Yongchun Hall."
"Don't call me princess, I'm not a princess anymore." Wen Zhi smiled and said, "Dr. Pei and the prince went to the south of the Yangtze River to treat the epidemic, and I took care of the medical clinic with Wan'er. It's been a long time I don't think there's anything wrong with this. That's why... stay here and learn some medical principles from Dr. Pei, so as to cure diseases and save lives."
Ye Zi smiled knowingly: "It's best if you can do what you want."
Wen Zhi said: "Thank you so much, Little Grass Immortal. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here today."
Gu Yan frowned, and his voice sank: "What do you call him?"
Just as Wen Zhi was about to answer, Ye Zi saw that the situation was not right, and immediately interrupted: "Princess, please hurry up and invite Dr. Pei over, we have something urgent to do with him."
Wen Zhi looked at him in bewilderment, then at Gu Yan, said nothing more, responded, turned her head and went out to look for Pei Ge.
Just as Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief, she felt someone hug her from behind.
Gu Yan maliciously bit the tip of his ear, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't I know you had such a cute name, huh? Little Grass Fairy?"
The vinegar smell in these words made Ye Zi's teeth ache.Ye Zi flinched uncomfortably, and said helplessly, "My lord, what kind of vinegar are you drinking?"
Gu Yan tightened his arms, and kissed the sensitive area behind his ear lightly, without answering.
Ye Zi couldn't bear his teasing, and struggled uncomfortably, "Don't... be seen again later."
Gu Yan still ignored him, his lips slowly moved down, and lightly bit Ye Zi's neck.
"Hiss..." Ye Zi felt a pain and said, "Gu Zicheng!"
"I'm here." Gu Yan lightly kissed and licked the area where he had bitten, and was satisfied to see that there was an ambiguous red mark on the small piece of fair skin.
Because of Ye Zi's extraordinary recovery ability, no matter what traces Gu Yan left on him, they would always disappear the next day without a trace.
From Ye Zi's point of view, this is a good thing, but Gu Yan doesn't think so.
Prince Rui, who had been calm in the past, didn't know which nerve was touched by this incident. Every time he got close, he always stubbornly left some marks on him, never tired of it, paranoid and domineering.
Gu Yan let go of Ye Zi, and stroked the red mark with his fingertips, as if reminiscing.
Ye Zi knocked off his hand, covered his neck, and said angrily, "Are you a dog? You know how to bite people."
"This is punishment." Gu Yan said righteously, "How about it, Princess Rui, do you know your mistake?"
"You—" Ye Zi was about to say something when someone knocked lightly on the door twice.
Pei Ge opened the door with a slightly uncomfortable expression on his face: "Although I really can't bear to disturb the two of you, the clinic below is really busy right now. If the two want to cultivate their relationship, can we continue later?"
Ye Zi: "..."
Ye Zi blushed, rushed to the side and sat down, ignoring Gu Yan.
Gu Yan also immediately put away that unscrupulous expression, and said, "Doctor Pei, please come in."
Pei Ge sat down in front of the two of them, and Gu Yan would inform him soon.
After Pei Ge listened, he didn't reply for a long time.
Gu Yan observed his expression, and persuaded him: "Don't worry, Doctor Pei, although this king asked you to enter the palace and stay by His Majesty's side, you don't really need to bother him. You just need to cook for him as you did before." Just a decoction that alleviates the poison."
"No matter what your majesty's condition is in the end, this king can guarantee that your life will never be in danger."
Pei Ge smiled and replied: "My lord is worrying too much, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that I don't understand, if my lord just wants to alleviate the poison, you already have a prescription, you just need to give it to the imperial physician That is, why come to find me?"
Gu Yan lowered his eyes and spoke calmly: "After all, the imperial physician is an outsider, so it's better to be at ease than the people around him. What's more, doesn't Dr. Pei want to seize this opportunity to enter the palace? For ordinary people, this is not the case. What an easy thing."
Pei Ge's expression was slightly stagnant, and he raised his eyes to look at Gu Yan, as if confirming something from his face.
After a long while, Pei Ge suddenly chuckled and said: "Okay, since the lord speaks in person, I will definitely obey. However, lord, please give me a day to deal with the matter of the hospital. I will enter the palace naturally tomorrow morning. "
Gu Yan thought for a while and asked, "Speaking of which, why don't you see Miss Wan'er? You and Chang Ning, who is a beginner in medicine, are left alone. No wonder you are so busy."
When mentioning this matter, Pei Ge couldn't help but sighed softly, and said: "What's more, that girl left the second day after I came back."
"Where did you go?"
Pei Ge said: "Northwest Camp."
Ye Zi was taken aback, and said in surprise, "It's pretty good, what is she doing there—"
His voice came to an abrupt end.
He still remembered that Wen Yi once said that after taking care of Princess Changning's affairs, he would lead troops to station in the northwest.
Ye Zi blinked, and asked tentatively, "Could she be..."
"The female college is not allowed to stay." Pei Ge laughed, and said helplessly, "That girl insisted that the soldiers in the northwest guarding the border are hard, and there are not many good doctors accompanying the army. If you insist on going there to serve as a military doctor, you Talking about this..."
Ye Zi couldn't believe it: "Wen Yi actually agreed to let her little girl eat sand with her?"
"It should be disagreement." Pei Ge said, "I heard from Miss Wen that when Wan'er and General Wen stayed in the bamboo house to take care of her, they quarreled every day, even the night before General Wen left. They are arguing about Wan'er wanting to follow her to the northwest."
Pei Ge sighed: "Wan'er and I are not actually brothers and sisters. Both of our parents died when we were young, and we grew up with the master. Later, the master passed away for some reason, and Wan'er and I depended on each other for our lives, so we came to Chang'an."
"...I take care of Wan'er as my own younger sister. She may have been spoiled by me all these years, and her temper has become more arrogant and lawless. Let her go to the northwest to suffer some hardships."
Gu Yan chuckled lightly, and said, "You think it's a pain, but others don't necessarily think so. Congratulations, Dr. Pei, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can become a relative of the emperor."
Pei Ge shook his head and said nothing.
The three of them chatted for a while, Pei Ge was still busy with the affairs of the clinic, and the two of them didn't want to bother for too long, so they left the clinic soon.
Gu Yan and Ye Zi didn't take a car, the two of them walked on the street, it was rare for them to be leisurely.
Chang'an City is now full of autumn, and the fallen leaves are scattered on the ground, bringing a sense of bleakness.The street market was peaceful and lively as usual, but it was like the calm before the storm.
Ye Zi suddenly asked: "Zi Cheng, the root of the orchid...is it really gone?"
"Yes." Gu Yan said, "All the orchids have been destroyed in Guangling, and I only kept the small packet of pollen for emergencies."
Ye Zi pursed her lips, and said hesitantly, "Then...Emperor Jinghe..."
Gu Yan smiled: "Although the roots of the flowers are gone, the seeds should still be there."
This is what Ye Zi is worried about.
Ye Zi said: "If he still has the leftover orchid seeds in his hand, and he grows orchids with them, and obtains the antidote for the roots, will it be..."
"So what?" Gu Yan said indifferently: "He'll do whatever he wants, I'll wait."
Ye Zi still had doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask any more questions.The two of them walked to a lively gate in the market, and Ye Zi looked inside curiously: "What is this place, why is it so lively?"
Gu Yan pulled his clothes, raised his eyes and pointed to the top of Ye Zi's head.
On the mahogany plaque above their heads, several words were engraved in large sizes.
——"Chang'an Book Pavilion"
Ye Zi heard about that bookstore several times, but he had no chance before, and he never set foot there once.He became more curious for a while, and asked, "This is where Qiutang and the others bought the scripts? Can we..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yan directly took his hand and stepped into the book pavilion.
The Book Pavilion is full of people, and it is divided into three floors. All kinds of books are divided into categories, which can be described as dazzling.Through the lobby, the interior of the Book Pavilion is connected to a teahouse, and most people are now gathered in that teahouse.
After asking, the two found out that today is the once-a-month popular vernacular book appreciation day, and Shuge invited the most famous local storyteller to comment on the most popular vernacular books of the season.
Ye Zi became interested as soon as he heard it, and pestered Gu Yan to listen to the book.Gu Yan had no choice but to spend a lot of money to buy a private room in a teahouse.
The private room is on the second floor, with an excellent view. While eating melon and fruit refreshments, Ye Zi stared intently at the storyteller and listened carefully.
Sure enough, it was the story of the royal palace that was being talked about.
They haven't come back for a few months, and the book of Yan Ji of the Palace has already reached the fifth volume. The little prince is looking for his husband from thousands of miles away, but he finds out that the prince has moved on.
Ye Zi felt something was wrong when he heard this at the beginning, so he frowned and continued listening.
I don't know if the author is restrained now, or the storyteller is not good at showing the romantic affairs in the book. The content of this book is extremely serious. Not only are there almost no romantic affairs, but the content has become heavy stand up.
This book is about the prince who was ordered to go south, and the young master couldn't bear the loneliness in the palace, so he chased him all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.But after chasing him, he found that instead of thinking about him as much as he imagined, the prince had moved on and fell in love with someone else.The little prince was so heartbroken that he couldn't help resorting to many means to try to restore the prince.
Hearing this, Ye Zi couldn't listen anymore.
He put the teacup on the table and said angrily, "What are these things?"
Gu Yan stretched out his hand and patted the back of his hand, and said in a gentle voice, "It's just a script, don't worry about it."
"That's not okay, I—"
Before Ye Zi could finish speaking, some disputes suddenly broke out in the audience.
The storyteller's narration was interrupted, Ye Zi looked over, and the place where the dispute happened was just blocked by the crowd, so he couldn't see clearly what was going on for a while.
Gu Yan also tilted his head to follow Ye Zi's gaze, and said, "Go down and have a look?"
"it is good."
The two went downstairs, and soon came to the place where the dispute occurred. The person who was arguing with the manager of the Book Pavilion was a familiar person.
Qiu Luo was so angry that she blushed and said angrily: "How can you tamper with Mr. Wu Fang's work at will, the original content of that paragraph is not like this."
The steward said: "Girl, this book belongs to us, we have the final say on how to change it, why are you bothering?"
"No, you can't do this." Qiuluo said, "I... I read the fifth book, and the content is clearly that the young master went to the south of the Yangtze River to reconcile the old relationship with the prince. When you come here, how come it becomes a love affair?"
The steward said righteously: "What do you know? It was so smooth and smooth before, how could it be attractive enough? We changed it to what it is now, isn't it still popular?"
Ye Zi: "..."
Why didn't he know before that Qiuluo liked reading this script so much?
But judging from what she meant, the content of the fifth book should have been changed.Ye Zi turned her head to look at Gu Yan, and saw the same helplessness in the latter's eyes.
Gu Yan shook his head, stepped out of the crowd, and raised his voice slightly: "Stop arguing."
When Qiuluo heard the familiar voice, she turned her head with a look of astonishment on her face.
